you dont have to wait for a groupbuy just order and use a agent /proxy service.there is option to order with stabs and swithces (gateron ,cherry,Razer)

Will do. But my first project, might have some quirks here and there, and might need some wait coz i'm still buying stuff.
Still have switches, lubes, stickers, and custom USB cable haven't buy. Current damage already very high.  doh.gif
And now i got my iPhone only, might need to go back Sban take my 550D.  sweat.gif

Are you joining the groupbuy organised by Cloud8992? Im getting a lot more switches than i need to experiment! Are you ordering lube from gon?
*
for gateron switches lube in not important unless you want super smooth linear cause gateron switches are consistent with their lubing.
gateron and cherry is using mostly the same except for the metal leaf and housing material other than that its the same.
i tested gateron blues without lube is really good and gateron clears with lube its godly

Filco Majestouch 2, where can i buy this from? is it a good keyboard for FPS gaming and some typing?
*
keyboard does not effect your gaming skill those are all just gimmick.if your are playing keyboard intensive games like racing game, you should be getting cherry mx red or blacks due lower actuation point for double tapping which is not good for mx blue due to its white slider which makes the click sound and actuation point higher. Mx browns is also ok for gaming but not as smooth as MX red and black when comes to double tapping but just go with what ever switches you feel the best to your finger will do.

Thanks for the rough estimation.

Hmm, I think I wouldn't use stickers,leds etc. Is acrylic case cheaper than aluminium case? But then it will still be very expensive.
I was thinking of getting a ready made stock keyboard one but I wanted to use gateron switches. Or should I find some chinese keyboards which uses gateron switch?
*
bro the cost not that high

you can get pcb,stabs,gateron switches for Rm223
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r....ucket=19#detail

than case like poker 2 plastic for rm23
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1...bd-f139b354dd69

plate for rm68
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1...&id=41523448564

since you dont need sticker ,led ,lube

Wow, thanks alot. I've tried searching in taobao, but guess i don't know the keywords to find what i want. tongue.gif

May I know what is 阳极板套装? and the rm223 is it including leds?
Also, the seller said that it is up to us whether to use a plate or not. Does that mean I can actually use the switch on the PCB straight away? then it's considered as pcb mount?
What's the main difference between pcb mount and plate mount again?I'm assuming that there is a difference in the plate mount being more sturdy compared to pcb mount.

ok, after some googling, i found out that's the case. Solder the switch without plate= pcb mount. Main difference being plate mount is more sturdy.

So is it recommended to go with plate or without plate? Considering that I don't actually bottom out that often.
*
it does not comes with led so you have to purchase if you want .
as for plate is very important feels a lot better having them.

I actually think it includes led.
Yea, I notice that the seller mention that he prefer to use cherry mx red with pcb mount as the combination will give a very unique soft feel. An even better setup that he uses for gaming is mx black with mx red as left shift and ctrl pcb mounted.

Ok, So i've just googled and looked at the seller's information.
Correct me if I'm wrong,  PCB, stabilizer, gateron switches ,led and the plate =RM223.
PCB,stabilizer ,led and gateron switch, RM160.
PCB+stabilizer, it is RM109.
PCB only, RM102.
Plate only is Rm68

Clone poker 2 case is Rm23, ori poker 2 plastic case is rm45, aluminium case is Rm200.
That is a very interesting price. biggrin.gif
If I were to get without plate, I might be able to get it for less than Rm 200 including case.

Not sure whether it comes with diodes tho, as I don't know what is diode in chinese. tongue.gif
*
diode and resistor is build in
